Strategy Round 11: Trades

[Connoisseur]

Just made the same move and have the same unsure feeling!

Back to back matches with 70% + TOG.

The last time Nic Nat recorded back to back TOG of 70% + was RD16 and RD17 2015.

 

[NT.Thunder]

well that’s me done, traded in 2 donuts this week in Watson and Hosie - I’ll close the door on the way out!

 

[Connoisseur]

Silly @Connoisseur only realised that we have 3 available trades next round instead of 2 this morning when the question was posed.

Had the opportunity to finally grab Neale to replace Simpson but decided against it due to being unable to afford the Williams selection with only 2 trades next week, instead selecting Fyfe to replace Starcevich.

Watch out Fyfe owners as he is bound to score below 85.

 

[BomberSam]

I finally pulled the trigger on two trades at 6.05 PM, with an element of panic as my Dees players to lock out 5 minutes later.

Bennell > Schoenberg
Viney > Titch

Budarick to Jack Steven is very tempting, would do it if I had confidence he would play 6 out of the next 7. Just feel like the way he has been managed thus far, he might miss up to 3 of them. If any cats fans have some thoughts on this, please do tell!

I’m seriously considering Sier as well.

How secure do you reckon his spot in the 22 is? And what do you expect him to average?

First I rate Sier>Wills. He's a better inside contested player. Wills had his opportunity and didn’t do enough for mine. Now it’s Siers turn and with Treloar out I feel he has really good JS for the next month+. I can see a 90 average which is great for his price.

I was holding off the same as you with trading bennell to schoenberg just hoping I would get some news.
Already had titch so bought in Fyfe for budarick with much trepidation but wanted a true A grader that already had a bye and came down to him or Zerrett.
I thought about steven but I have the same concerns as you. Geelong have always been good at managing players and have shown that he is on their list as a priority to manage although he did look a bit fitter last game.

Thanks mate. I tend to agree re Sier over Wills ... Sier’s had some issues in the past and I wonder whether that’s kept him out rather than his ability at times.

Equally it appears Sier is preferred at the moment so if he plays well and keeps out of trouble hopefully he can make some good cash at M8.

I’m very scared now....

 

[Connoisseur]

I’m very scared now....

As you should be.

In the coming rounds to follow, he will either be played as a permanent full forward or succumb to injury again.

JSteven on my radar too. Want to see one more game of CB rotations before committing though!

 

[IDIG]

Ended up yolo’ing Parfitt to Petracca who saluted with a lazy 160.

Wasn’t sure if Parfitt would be named so took a punt. Not upset with the end result but would’ve felt more vindicated if Parfitt wasn’t named.

Also did Bennell/Birchall to Watson/Schoenberg. $200k ITB for next week.

 

[randomcliche]

One for you though (forward only) and closer to home

Jack Darling 4 90's in his last 5 , from memory was Top 10 in the averages for forwards the second half of last season.

$ 399,200.00 BE 86

Well spied. I very much like. If I hadn't grabbed simpkin this round.... hmmm. Very nice work.

Owned him all of last season , so been keeping an eye on him.

Can't fit him in though , I am seeing how many F/R I can get instead.

 

[Rumbler]

So I only made the one trade this round:
Bennell --> Schoenberg

Kept McKay who surprisingly did pretty well again (68) to get a little bit more cash gen. Only $134k in bank atm but looking in to bring in Petracca next round. Very expensive but don't wanna wait anymore for his price to fall.

Also I've got a big regret now that I didn't go for him at the start of round 4. Back then he was priced at around 490k but I instead went for Simpkin (who was around 480k) probably cuz I thought Simnpkin's BE was low and if I didn't get him at the time then it would've been too hard to later on. For two rounds it looked to be the right decision. But not anymore. Hindsight's a wonderful thing huh...

 

[Philzsay]

So my next trade involves Geelong players, but in part depends on Adelaide's team selection.

Only Geelong game starts 10 minutes before Adelaide's team selection! DOH!!!

 

[Bomber18]

Only two trades done so far.

Bennell/Viney to Schoenberg/Titch

Hoping to hold on to the final trade but will trade out Cameron to Wicks early if Cameron doesn’t play.

 

[Yasi]

Thinking seriously of grabbing a post bye Serong to sit at M8 for a few weeks. Still looks value at $ 330 k for what he’s demonstrated he can produce. 🤔

I did those exact two trades.

 

[BomberSam]

Just noticed something sweet, if you are like me and have one trade left this week, you can wait until Wednesday night and know for certain if Wicks is playing before GCS/Dons rookies lock out.

Thinking I might go Hibberd/Budarick to Wicks if their services are not required on field. Nice little head start going into round 12.

Thanks - great bloody insight and suits me perfectly
